Good point. The mods often combine threads started by the same poster. My all time favorite was when _Susma Rio Sep_ had 3 threads open at once in GD about fornicating priests and anal sex. One of the mods combined the threads, suggesting that the topic was “not so nuanced” as to need 3 seperate threads…
I guess this could be considered a \*\*preemptive strike \*\* to an **imminent threat** of future Bush-bashing threads, as well as an attack against large \*\*caches \*\* of existing **Threads of Mass Bush-bashing**.

This ain’t right.
Funny as hell, though.

My vote into the Phantom Democracy regarding the rightness (or… otherwiseness) of this thread says: Yay! Wonderfully appropriate.
Now all they need is to give me my own Underpants Thread, and the SDMB will be set for life…

The Admin of another board I frequent did this to the local insane liberal with the same problem as Reeder, and it worked. I’m all for it.

Who said anything about shutting up? Limiting the number of threads opened in the Pit is pretty reasonable.
Let’s face it, GWB isn’t exactly Mr. Popularity around here – if he does something Pit-worthy, there’s going to be a thread opened about it, even if **Reeder** _does_ have to spend twenty minutes hopping from foot to foot waiting for it to appear.
And the ones along the lines of “Bush wore brown shoes with a blue suit! How long must we endure this?!” will hardly be missed, in my opinion. I don’t like water in my vitriol.
**:waves hand:** Don’t mention my “unlampoonable” thread in MPSIMS. These aren’t the threads you’re looking for.

Long overdue, funny as hell and wonderfully appropriate. What more do we need?

Hmm… maybe they can consider reinstatint December, but limiting his posting to a single thread?
Well, nah, I can see why not…
Maybe limit both Reeder and December post in the _same_ thread?
All right, maybe over the top… Maybe.

And we all know by now that premptive strikes are a flagrant violation of international law, and that **Lynn** ought to be bound over to the ICJ post haste… 😉

I love the smell of Bush-bashing in the morning.
Yeah, I really do…

Has anyone ever wondered what the inside **Reeder’s** home might look like? Walls, papered over every square inch with news clippings, all highlighted and underlined to show Bush’s evil actions as president. Pictures and pictures of “W” with profanity scrawled across them, some with bullseyes drawn on “W’s” face. Magazines stacked to the ceiling with pages cut out. Empty bags of pretzles and chips, pizza boxes scattered on the floor. A lonely niche with a picture of Gore, lovingly framed… a single candle lit in front of it. A first edition copy of _Earth in the Balance_ set on a small alter…
Can anyone imagine the throws of anguish, the teeth gnashing, the hair pulling that will ensue if Bush wins in November? AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
JUST KIDDING!! **Reeder** is a Bush basher extraordinaire, but if you ever encounter him in an other forum taking about regular stuff, he’s a perfectly reasonable guy.

This is not the same as combining threads or limiting a poster to one active thread in a forum at a time. Either of those applied to Reeder would be fine. This is different. Reeder’s only outpost in the Pit is this pathetic joke of a thread. And while many would argue that Reeder himself is a joke, I don’t think the administration should be forcing users to limit their discussion on a certain topic to a snarky bullshit thread such as this.

Isn’t the consesus that warp cores are fueled by this sort of thing?

Here’s one I managed to miss:
[Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called U.S. President George Bush an “asshole.”](http://www.reuters.com/locales/newsArticle.jsp;:4042a149:0c1a48964cc2b5?type=worldNews&locale=en_IN&storyID=4463411)
And Venezuela isn’t even part of the Axis of Evil yet.
Anyway, tough break, **Reeder**. But I think this is about to become my favorite Straight Dope thread ever.
Heh. [Asshole](http://aor.shon.org/)…

Maybe Lynn needs some time off.

Well, she damn sure labeled me a “plagarist” just because I inadvertently omitted an attribution. And, I’m not allowed to say “bite me” although I think, mind you, think, that “fuck off” is ok.
